CHRISTMAS IN CHICAGO: 43 SHOT

Eleven men were killed and at least 37 other people have been wounded in shootings over Christmas weekend across Chicago.

The gun violence since Friday evening has surpassed the toll over the same four-day holiday last year, when 30 people were shot across the city.

The weekend’s most recent homicide happened about 9:20 p.m. Sunday in an East Chatham neighborhood mass shooting that left two men dead and five others wounded, two critically, on the South Side, according to Chicago Police. People were gathered for a party on the porch of a home in the 8600 block of South Maryland when someone wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt walked out from an alley and opened fire. The shooter then ran away. – READ MORE
